Lissie-Pursuit of Happiness cover

A pretty unique cover of one of the most well known Cudi tracks "Pursuit of Happiness".  Lissie's rendition takes lyrics that (in my opinion) would be difficult to cover interestingly. Either way, its hard not to like a cute blonde girl playing guitar singing a rap song..





From Lissie's website,

She was born in Rock Island, Illinois, one of the Quad Cities, on the banks of the Mississippi River. It’s the city that inspired Rock Island Line, and that bore Bix Beiderbecke, it’s the stuff of spring floods and pick-up trucks and bona fide blue collar country music. “I think that people often want to focus on that side of me,” Lissie says, “But it wasn’t like we were all sitting on the porch having a hootenanny writing the album; I grew up listening to gangsta rap just like millions of other American teenagers. There are many sounds and experiences that have influenced and inspired my music.”
